This part of IS0 8253 specifies procedures and requirements for
air conduction and bone conduction threshold audiometry. For
screening purposes, only air conduction pure tone audiometric
test methods are described. The procedures may not be appropriate
for special populations, for example very young children.
Some audiometric procedures need to be carried out at levels
above the hearing threshold levels of the subjects. These and
other tests are not described in this part of IS0 8253. Procedures and requirements for speech audiometry, electrophysiological
audiometry, and where loudspeakers are used as a sound source are not specified. Air conduction threshold audiometry for hearing conservation purposes is described in IS0 6189.
Diese ÖNORM legt Anforderungen und Verfahren zur Durchführung grundlegender audiometrischer Untersuchungen fest, bei denen dem Probanden reine Töne über Kopfhörer oder Knochenleitungshörer dargeboten werden.
